Days of Our Lives spoilers and updates reveal Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy) wouldn’t return Marlena Evans’ (Deidre Hall) calls in Friday, March 7th’s episode.

But the question is, why-John Black (Drake Hogestyn) dropped off the grid; might Shane have as well, and the person not returning calls isn’t Shane?

Marlena and Steve Set To Track Down Shane In DC

After that worrying experience in which Marlena fears the worst-and she’s absolutely correct-Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) decides to go to DC with her.

There, they will confront Shane in person and try to get more information where John was supposed to be, he had been in deep cover for several months on a secret mission.

Most Dool viewers know that likely in the next few weeks, confirmation of John’s death will be revealed-because of the real life death of Drake Hogestyn.

But the backstory...

Robert Scott Wilson has endured numerous close calls on Days of Our Lives.

The time has come for Kelly Monaco’s character, Sam McCall, to be killed off General Hospital.

Viewers have been upset since the news broke months ago, and in the weeks following the announcement, more details have come to light.

Kelly hinted the situation was “retaliation” but didn’t elaborate further. However, she confirmed that a statement would be coming.

There have been rumors that Frank Valentini (the executive producer of General Hospital) took issue with what Kelly said following the firing of Billy Miller from the ABC soap. The two were close friends, so her opinion wasn’t shocking.

Several long-time viewers have spoken about Kelly’s firing, offering support and suggesting the soap fix the decision and bring her back. After all, anything can happen in the soap world.

But beyond that, many are calling for Frank to be fired.

The idea of characters coming back from the dead is a hallmark of soap operas, making the current discussions about All My Children’s revival feel especially appropriate.

The show, along with One Life To Live, was axed in 2011 to make way for an afternoon talk show and a cooking series, neither of which enjoyed much success.

It’s been over a decade since ABC made the terrible decision to cancel two popular daytime soaps and replace them with talk shows. The talk shows have since both been canceled and replaced by an extra hour of Good Morning America. The network’s remaining soap opera, General Hospital, has named-dropped the iconic Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) but the character has yet to appear in Port Charles. Keep reading for more.

General Hospital has lost its way, and adding cast members with little to no significance to the current cast has been par for the course.

The cast is so bloated, yet many longtime fan favorites have been on the back burner for so long that what was simmering is probably stuck to the pot.

Over the years, the show has morphed from the hospital drama to being more focused on the mob scene, run by none other than Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).

Whether viewers want to admit it or not, he has become the face of the show. He is on nearly every day and often is the center of focus for several big storylines on the daytime drama.

However, some of us remember the days of great storylines that happened at the hospital. The nursing staff has dwindled, and the doctors are few and far between these days.

The soap star appeared on Stephanie Sloane and Mara Levinsky’s Dishing the Digest podcast, where she talked about her diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia in 2016, which was followed a year later by a breast cancer diagnosis. “I went to a country jamboree up at Hunter Mountain, and I’m sitting on a chair lift.

Are you ready, General Hospital fans?

The sudsy ABC daytime soap opera is bringing back a familiar face, and we're convinced this is some of the best casting news we've heard in a long time.

People reports that Daytime Emmy winner Rena Sofer has booked a comeback as Lois Cerullo.

Yes, this is really happening.

As General Hospital Fans will be well aware, Sofer has been away from the show for 26 years, so this will be exciting for fans who have watched for decades.

Typically, this type of casting gets older fans to check back in with the show who had maybe fallen off over the years.

Lois' comeback coincides with her ex-husband Ned's battle with amnesia.

Ned has become convinced he's Eddie Maine, his alter ego from the '90s.

There's a lot of drama currently happening on-screen on General Hospital, but fans will be excited about Lois' reunion with Ned,...

Directed by Raimi from a screenplay he crafted with Scott Spiegel, Evil Dead II has the following synopsis: After a relaxing cabin vacation doesn’t go as planned, Ash is left with three dead friends, an undead girlfriend and an angry evil spirit on the loose. As nightfall approaches, Ash must prepare to again battle the legions of the damned if he wants to make it to dawn.

You can always count on horror to test boundaries, so it’s no surprise that the genre has long explored the taboo of cannibalism. Cannibals are most often associated with exploitation horror, leading to a cannibal horror boon in the ’70s and early ’80s, thanks to Italian horror filmmakers like Umberto Lenzi, Ruggero Deodato, and Joe D’Amato. But as the Video Nasty craze came and went and time evolved the genre, so did the depiction of cannibalism.

The ’90s brought horror’s most common depiction of cannibals out of the jungle and into society, largely thanks to The Silence of the Lambs’ Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). The Academy Award-winning feature adapted Thomas Harris’ 1988 novel and introduced a supporting character so fascinating that he overshadowed the film’s actual antagonist, Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine). Protagonist Clarice Starling gets assigned to interview the incarcerated cannibalistic serial killer in the hopes that Dr.

There are horror franchises out there that are so beloved and have such a devoted and undyingly-passionate fanbase that they become legendary. The Evil Dead films are an example of this, their popularity still reaching incredible heights today. This documentary, directed by Steve Villeneive (Under the Scares) looks at those aforementioned fans and the admiration they have and the importance they hold towards the films themselves.

I am personally a big fan of the Evil Dead franchise, including the most recent 2013 entry, the first three classics, and the television show, Ash vs Evil Dead. I was impressed with this film which, like most well-done and entertaining docs about horror franchises, interviews a multitude of folk, from the cast and crew of the films themselves,...

With Halloween fast approaching, this writer wanted to unpack one of his all-time favorite horror movies, Evil Dead II (a.k.a. Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn). The first time I beheld the original The Evil Dead (1981), I found myself utterly terrified by the movie’s grisly carnage, completely charmed by its obvious low-fi origins, and wholly bewildered by a sense of humor that can only be described as “Three Stooges-esque.” The fact that it was made by a bunch of college dropouts from the suburbs of Michigan, through money raised largely from suburban dentists and grocers, only made its achievement all the more impressive. The movie’s charmingly crude special effects and daringly acrobatic camerawork only served to enhance its freshness, positioning it as a raw, gritty antidote to that era’s glossier, tamer studio horror fare.

The Evil Dead was merely an appetizer. Its delightfully demented successor...

In the spirit of Halloween, this writer wanted to unpack one of his all-time favorite horror masterpieces, Evil Dead II (a.k.a. Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn).

The first time I watched the original 1981 The Evil Dead, I found myself utterly terrified by the movie’s grisly carnage, completely charmed by its obvious low-fi origins, and wholly bewildered by a sense of humor that can only be described as “Three Stooges-esque.” The fact that it was made by a bunch of Michigan college dropouts through money raised largely from suburban dentists and grocers only made its achievement all the more impressive. But I knew that this was only the appetizer. By the time I got around to Evil Dead II, it had become legend in my mind. As a fairly literate movie fan, I knew that this was purported to be the crown jewel of the Ash Williams cinematic trilogy.
